A Reflection Paper

Since I took up AB Psychology, I have never envisioned myself working in an educational setting, considering the opportunities at bay. And up to now, I still haven’t found the gist that could hook me into pursuing a career in Guidance and Counseling. In my few hours of stay at SMAP, I did not just prove myself that I am not the Guidance Counselor material, but I also realized the limits of my capabilities.

I always thought, “Hey, I can teach tertiary subjects, but I will never be the Guidance Counselor everyone expects me to be.” And indeed it was true. I just don’t have the passion and the patience in handling such work. Interest is different from skill. That’s one thing I learned. Although I can cope up with the demands of the occupation, I just can’t perform to a maximum level, because I don’t have my heart in what I am doing. Honestly, if it wasn’t for this practicum requirement, I would never have set foot in the Guidance and Counseling profession.

During my stay in SMAP, a few conflicts rose, particularly in schedule. Mainly because I have 8 subjects this semester, plus my undergraduate thesis, which is almost done, with the help of my partner, Gerald. With all the pressure, I seemed fragile. And as a Guidance Counselor, you can never manifest fragility in front of your clients. But during the span of January to February, my thoughts weren’t in coherence with my acts. Perhaps I was just stressed, but I shrugged the thought because I realized Guidance and Counseling isn’t really my thing. I did well in Industrial Setting, with the same conflicts. But I hardly notice them because I enjoy what I am doing, considering the fact that the Senate Office is a harmonious place. I guess I just don’t have an eye for repetitive work routine.

If there’s another thing I proved to myself, it’s that I am more into spontaneity. I do not like...

...What is reflection?
Reflection is the examination of personal thoughts and actions. For practitioners this means focusing on how they interact with their colleagues and with the environment to obtain a clearer picture of their own behaviour.
It is therefore a process by which practitioners can better understand themselves in order to be able to build on existing strengths and take appropriate future action. And the word ‘action’ is vital. Reflection is not ‘navel-gazing’. Its aim is to develop professional actions that are aligned with personal beliefs and values.
There are two fundamental forms of reflection: reflection-on-action and reflection-in-action. Understanding the differences between these forms of reflection is important. It will assist practitioners in discovering a range of techniques they can use to develop their personal and professional competences.
Reflection-on-action
Reflection-on-action is perhaps the most common form of reflection. It involves carefully re-running in your mind events that have occurred in the past. The aim is to value your strengths and to develop different, more effective ways of acting in the future.
In some of the literature on reflection (Grant and Greene 2001; Revans 1998), there is a focus on identifying negative aspects of personal behaviour with a view to...

...Spiritual Mentoring ReflectionPaper

Spiritual Mentoring ReflectionPaper
This essay will be explanations of spiritual mentoring, reflecting off my mentoring and or being mentored. These will be broken down into three parts that defines and explains spiritual mentoring, contemplate on mentors in my life, and I will discuss people that I am mentoring now. This paper will start with the definitions and explanations of spiritual mentoring. Talking about spiritual mentoring and friendship, the Bible contains quite a few examples of spiritual mentoring. One example of this mentoring would be Paul serving as a spiritual mentor to Timothy as explained in the New Testament. The book of Acts talks of Timothy having a special part in Paul’s ministry team Paul called Timothy his spiritual son in 1Timothy 1:2. Spiritual formation and discipleship is a community thing with others and is not just for one person’s benefit. This is a transformation of others to “make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19). Our future Christian leaders will need a mentor who will be able to provide supervision in the development of spiritual formation (Mayhue, 2011). Christians seek out those they can monitor, in which this development of mentoring, which is effective in a Biblical discipleship representing Yashua’ own example of what His purpose is...

...Introduction
During this course, (Ministry & Context), I have grown tremendously in my theological understandings. This class has helped me to be able to place things in which, I deemed impossible to reality. I was able to connect the thought of practicum and the knowledge of praxis in this class.
This paper will give a theological analysis, while reexamining the focus of the themes in which I presented in class. I will also share and reflect critically on the feedback of comments and insights gleamed during the class discussions. Thirdly, I will explore and identify significant findings for my personal and spiritual development and future engagement in ministry. And finally, I will give my concluding theological thoughts about the readings, my site, my personal development, and the class.
Restate the Issues
From reading the text, I quickly identified with the author Hill Harper’s The Conversation. In the 17th chapter Harper talks about Anger, Forgiveness, and Learning to let go. One of my most freighting fears is the thought of someone dying and having a grudge, or being mad. In my genealogy we have always struggled with forgiving and being in control.[1] My personal issues are that I struggle with are, as Hill Harper writes, “Maybe you grew up with a father who was controlling. You know that doesn’t mean that all men are controlling. Still you keep your guard up and behave in a way that lets the men in your life know that you’re just not...

...this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)
Argyris and Schon (1974) suggest that practitioners often practice at less than effective levels because they follow routine. Johns (1995) implies that action can be taken through reflection to increase effectiveness in practice as reflection provides opportunities for self development as professionals and individuals (Hinchliff et al., 1993).
Bishop and Scott (2001) believe Clinical nursing is fundamental to nursing practice, that it provides expertise that are used to bring high quality care to patient’s that is not likely to be provided by a lay person. During this assignment I will discuss Christopher Johns model of structured reflection and Donald Schon’s model of reflection on and in action and his coaching theory and other methods that contribute to the reflecting process. I will identify how the models then relate to clinical practice and how nursing has changed.
Carper (1978) Identified that as individuals have different ways of thinking and knowledge differentiates it is some times helpful to refer to a framework to assist reflection.
Johns et al (2002) built on Carper’s theory and constructed a model for structured...

...child. I will use Gibbs reflective model (Gibbs 1988)(see appendix 1). This model of reflection will be applied to the essay to facilitate critical thought and relating theory to practice where the model allows. Discussion on the incident will include the knowledge underpinning practice and the evidence base for the administration of the drug. A conclusion to the essay will then be given which will discuss my knowledge and competence of the incidence being reflected upon.
The drug that I have chosen to reflect upon is Fragmin (see Drug Profile 1 Appendix 2) which was administered as a parenteral subcutaneous injection to a 14 year old girl, who shall remain anonymous for the purpose of patient confidentiality in accordance with the regulations of the NMC (2008). I have chosen to reflect on this drug as it was the first injection I had given during my training which encouraged me to further develop my knowledge within this area.
The first stage of Gibbs model (1988) of reflection requires a description of events (see Appendix 3).
The next stage of Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle is related to thoughts and feelings aroused during the event which I can use to reflect upon (see appendix 4).
The third stage of Gibbs (1988) model of reflection encourages exploration of both positive and negative experiences encountered and I have chosen a few that I propose to discuss further within this reflection.
